Are there any advantages of choosing a gas sauna heater compared to an electric one?
Gas sauna heaters tend to heat up a little bit faster than electric sauna heaters. Depending on your area, running the sauna with gas tend to be cheaper than running an electric sauna.

The difference between a standing pilot light and a piezo ignition system pertains to how they ignite the gas in your sauna heater.
Standing Pilot Light: This is the traditional method of igniting a gas heater. The standing pilot light is a small flame that burns continuously, ready to ignite the gas when the heater is turned on. This system is reliable and simple, but it does use a small amount of gas even when the heater is not in use. Because of this, they are less energy-efficient compared to electronic ignition systems.
Piezo Ignition System: This is a modern, more energy-efficient method of igniting a gas heater. Piezo ignition systems generate a spark (without the need for electricity or batteries) to ignite the gas when you turn on the heater. This spark is created by the piezoelectric effect, which occurs when certain materials (like crystals or ceramics) generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. In the case of a piezo ignition system, the mechanical stress is usually applied by pushing a button.
Gas and electric sauna heaters are two popular methods for heating a sauna, each with its distinct features and benefits.

Gas Sauna Heaters:
In summary, electric sauna heaters are known for their convenience and ease of use, making them suitable for smaller saunas and home use, while gas sauna heaters are often favored for their cost-effectiveness and performance in larger or outdoor installations. Safety, local energy prices, and personal preference will heavily influence the choice between a gas and an electric sauna heater.
